Weather

New Caledonia is at its glorious best from May to mid-December. The wet season (mid-December to mid-April) brings higher temperatures, heavier rains, mosquitos and the occasional tropical cyclone. Rainfall is generally a bit heavier between February and May. Around the middle of the year, temperatures drop by about 5°C (10°F) each way and the rain eases off. The prevailing winds throughout the year are from the southeast (the famous Southeast Trade Winds of sailing ship days), bringing sunny days and cool nights. However, in the wet season the winds are more variable.
